Beach House Vibes on a Budget: $50 Dollar Store Coastal Decor DIYs
Hey there, fellow beach lovers and DIY enthusiasts! Have you ever wished you could bring the calming vibes of the ocean into your home without spending a fortune? Well, guess what? You totally can! Today, I’ll share some super fun and budget-friendly dollar-store coastal decor DIYs that’ll turn your home into a beachy paradise for just about $50. So, grab your flip-flops, and let’s dive in!
Why Go Coastal?
Picture this: you’re sitting in your living room, but it feels like you’re right by the ocean. You can almost hear the waves and smell the salty air. That’s the magic of coastal decor! It’s not just pretty to look at; it makes you feel relaxed and happy. And who doesn’t want that in their home?
1. Seashell Candle Holders
Let’s start with something simple yet stunning—seashell candle holders. All you need are some large seashells (you can actually find these at the dollar store!), hot glue, and small candles. Glue the candles into the seashells, and voila! You’ve got yourself some gorgeous candle holders that’ll remind you of starry nights by the beach.
2. Nautical Rope Vases
Next up, let’s talk about turning plain glass vases into something right out of a beach cottage. Grab a vase, some thick nautical rope, and hot glue. Wrap the rope around the vase, securing it with the glue as you go. The result? A vase that looks like it costs way more than it did! Fill it with beach grass or flowers for that extra touch.
3. Ocean-Inspired Wall Art
Who says wall art has to be expensive? Not us! For this DIY, you’ll need some picture frames (yep, dollar store finds), paint, and any beachy decorations like starfish, sand, or small shells. Paint a calm, ocean color as the background on cardboard that fits your frame, glue on your beach treasures, and frame it. Hang these beauties on your wall, and watch your room transform!
Why I Love These DIYs
Okay, a little confession here. The first time I tried making a seashell candle holder, it was a bit of a mess. Glue everywhere, and I even glued a shell to my hand! But you know what? It was so much fun, and the candle holder turned out to be one of my favorite decor pieces. It’s all about enjoying the process and embracing little imperfections.
